Preparation of polypropylene/short glass fiber composite as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) filament
Mechanical, morphological, rheological, and crystallinity properties of pure polypropylene (PP)/glass fiber (GF) and PP/GF composites containing maleic anhydride polyolefin (POE-g-MA) at three different weight percentages (10, 20 and 30 wt%) were investigated. The test specimens were provided using...
